The link above is a post from yesterday evening. Users on another site caught that this was written by an anti-union lawyer. The original article is doing just what it intended to do. It stirs up anti-union leadership feelings as well as anti-Obama muck.

I am sorry this took so long to get corrected! Please spread the word.

2. Anti-Obama threads at DU? I'm shocked.

3. I've seen stuff from Wingnut Birther sites posted here

simply because they fit the "Obama is Evil" scenario that some DU'er are pushing.

People don't seem to care what the sources are as long as it fits the narrative.

When you call them on it, they say "that does not mean the information is not true". When you point out the source has a track record of being wrong about most everything, then you are accused of trying to censor them.

6. But you posted this anti-Obama muck

Seems to me you agreed with the upshot of the article, and you got a flurry of K&R's. It was written by a conservative, but a lot here bought into the sentiment.

7. My own fault

If nothing else EFCA got some needed attention.

I should have waited on posting. Yes labor is mad at Congress on EFCA. This article did take advantage of that. I should have waited before posting. I knew the part about Nancy Pelosi was inaccurate. The House had passed the bill the year before. She didn't want to go through it again until the Senate would try to pass it. I don't blame her there.

And part of the article is correct. TWO D senators were the reason EFCA couldn't get through the Senate. Lincoln and Ben Nelson. Nelson is my Senator and has made it clear he won't vote for EFCA with card check in it. But he will continue to get my vote because he won't get a serious primary challenge. Any R that runs against him will be much worse. Ben does vote with labor 75% of the time according to the AFL-CIO.

9. I appreciate your retraction

But the incident highlights the desire to find anything critical about Obama here, and I'm not referring to just you personally.
